[Rhodes22-list] Was Main Sail Speed, now Jib Sheets Changes

[SVGravityLeak at aol.com]

In higher winds, my jib sheets will catch on the bow deck cleat.  A thin line 
from the bow cleat to a mast cleat solves the problem.  Since getting a 
furling spinacker, I just cleat the spinacker furling line to the mast and it 
protects the cleat.

Bill,
This has been discussed on the list previously. Apparently the only boats  
that have the problem with the front cleat are those that are not using the 
175  
genoa. My memory is fading, but I remember that Roger had a simple solution 
for  this problem, but I can't remember what it was.
I have never had the 175 genoa sheets hang on the front cleat.....they  never 
even come close to it.
